The quiet, mysterious sounds
the listener experiences while listening to Blackhouse's release, Dreams
Like These, really impacts the person to a larger degree than one would
expect from such low sounds and music. The track titles include "The
Graves Are Full of Warriors," a recording with industrial-like sounds played
throughout, "Attic Friends," a rather spooky track with sounds of footsteps
and what appears to be things falling down stairs and "Closer," a song
with chanting and a constant low note being played. All the songs
are different, and each has its own unique quality, whether it is an incessant
sound or a pattern of music.

Blackhouse started in the
1980's and is considered one of the founders of the Industrial genre of
music. They have released albums on mostly non-USA labels, and so
they are not as well known here as they are in other countries. This
particular release strove towards hovering on the line that is the border
of our conscious and unconscious thinking. The soft sounds and beats,
when played at a low volume as the liner notes suggest, really do impact
the listener in a different way than other types of music would.
